Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

They had to avoid people, so that they could conceal the origin of the bamboo sticks, and Yao Shu could save herself the trouble of explaining. She really couldn't think of a suitable reason.

There is no way to grow bamboo sticks out of thin air in this desert.

After dark, everyone fell into a deep sleep. They were exhausted from walking all day.

Yao Shu was also very tired now. If she hadn't been thinking about things in her heart, she would have fallen asleep long ago. She carefully observed everyone's movements and saw that everyone was sleeping badly, so she pushed Shen Nanshan beside her.

"Old man, wake up."

Even with her warning in advance, Shen Nanshan still fell asleep, but he didn't sleep soundly. She woke up with a gentle push.

After waking up, Shen Nanshan was still in a daze. He was stunned for a while before he came to his senses.

"Shall we leave now?"

"Keep your voice down!"

Yao Shu slapped Shen Nanshan on the arm. This person really didn't care what the situation was. He just made such a noise at night, for fear that everyone would not know that they were going to work secretly.

Shen Nanshan quickly covered his mouth with his hands and looked around warily. He was relieved when no one noticed him.

"Old lady, I was wrong. I fell asleep just now."

He apologized very quietly.

Seeing that there was no delay, Yao Shu did not hold on to the matter. After all, she could see that Shen Nanshan's mistake was unintentional. It was more important for them to hurry up and get the matter done.

If things are settled earlier, they can come back and rest earlier.

If I don't get a good rest this night, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive the day's journey tomorrow.

"Let's go."

Yao Shu said hello and started walking forward. She led Shen Nanshan around the crowd and continued to move toward the northwest. Thanks to the good weather today, the stars in the sky were clearly visible, and the moonlight could illuminate the ground. She was Only then can you tell the direction.

Seeing how quickly she moved, Shen Nanshan hurriedly stopped the person.

"Old lady, walk slower, or you may get stepped into a pit of quicksand."

Shen Nanshan watched from behind and was worried. During the day, everyone could not be more careful, but Yao Shu moved so fast, as if the ground ahead was flat.

He didn't dare to walk like this, even if he was walking behind Yao Shu, he felt very panicked.

"I know what's going on, so stop talking."

Yao Shu would not joke about her own safety. Every step she took was carefully tested, but her movements were faster, so she misunderstood Shen Nanshan.

The night was too quiet, and every sporadic movement was very clear, which made her uncomfortable with Shen Nanshan, who had been talking.

If she attracts the attention of others, she must teach them a lesson.

Fortunately, her worries did not appear. The two of them walked away smoothly. After walking about a mile, Yao Shu stopped. Now, as long as they don't make too much noise, they should will not be discovered.

"let's start."

Yao Shu threw down two knives.

"Here, what are you doing?"

Looking at the knife reflecting the cold light on the ground, Shen Nanshan was stunned and didn't dare to pick it up. He didn't understand what Yao Shu meant. He felt very panicked. He hadn't caused any trouble recently, had he?

At this time, he only felt that the night wind was so cold that it gave him goosebumps.

"Hurry up and do it. Forget it, I'll do it first."

Yao Shu just wanted to seize the time to solve the problem. She picked up a knife and started digging a hole in the sand. She planned to dig a hole and bury the bamboo sticks in it, so that it would appear that the bamboo sticks would appear slightly. Be reasonable.

As for why she used a knife, it was because she didn't have a more convenient tool.

As long as there is a shovel or hoe, she will not take out the knife. After all, the knife is not particularly easy to use.

Seeing Yao Shu's actions, Shen Nanshan realized what he was doing. He breathed a sigh of relief and started working hard.

Neither of them was very fast when doing this kind of physical work. Thanks to the loose sand in the desert, they didn't have to work particularly hard. In about two quarters of an hour, they dug out a big hole.

After all the work was done, Shen Nanshan asked belatedly.

"Old lady, why are we digging this hole?"

"it works."

Yao Shu did not avoid Shen Nanshan. She took the bamboo stick out of the system backpack and put it in the pit, and then greeted Shen Nanshan.

"Bury these bamboo sticks and leave a section out."

They still had to find the things and dig them out. When she said this, she glanced at Shen Nanshan, a little worried that the other party would ask the reason for doing this. She hadn't figured out how to deceive people yet.

But what she never expected was that Shen Nanshan would become so good.

"I understand, this is what Lord Yama ordered again, right?"

He has learned to rationalize what Yao Shu did on his own.

In response, Yao Shu nodded silently. This was good, but it saved a lot of trouble. She made the right choice to bring Shen Nanshan over to help. This old man is quite good.

After the two of them finished filling in the hole, they walked back around gently.

After settling a matter on her mind, Yao Shu fell into a deep sleep.

On the second day, everyone continued to move forward as usual after eating dry food. The speed was still very slow. One mile was not far away. No matter how slow their speed was, they still reached the place.

But looking at the scene in front of him, Shen Nanshan was dumbfounded. He looked at Yao Shu blankly.

"Old lady, are we going the wrong way?"

The reason why he had such doubts was because the piece of bamboo stick they left behind last night was gone. He looked around carefully and couldn't see it.

Just because the wind is so strong at night, the wind and sand are easily blown away, and the terrain in the desert is also changeable.

Yesterday's sand dunes may have changed places today.

Under such circumstances, it's no wonder that Shen Nanshan looked at the surrounding environment very strangely. He didn't even see the slightest similarity.

"Yes, that's right. Look where the sun is. We are walking northwest."

Shen Qiu explained very seriously.

He couldn't confirm it in rainy weather, but it happened to be a good day today, so he could be very sure that he had not mistaken the direction. Unfortunately, what he said was not what Shen Nanshan was concerned about.

"Let's go, I didn't ask you."

"That's right."

Yao Shu said with certainty.

She was able to confirm that she had not gone in the wrong direction last night or today. As for why the bamboo sticks were missing, she guessed that it was due to changes in the terrain.

It's also strange that she ignored this point. Now it is more difficult to find the bamboo sticks in this area. This is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
